Gaviscon Heartburn and Indigestion 12 sachets Mint Flavor

Gaviscon is a non-prescription medicine that is indicated for the treatment of symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux, such as acid regurgitation, heartburn (burning) and indigestion, which can occur, for example, after meals, during pregnancy or in patients with symptoms related to inflammation of the esophagus (oesophagitis). It belongs to a group of medicines called "reflux suppressants", which form a protective layer over the contents of the stomach, preventing stomach acid from escaping into the esophagus where it ends up causing pain and discomfort.
